As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have witnessed numerous ups and downs, bull runs, and bear markets. The current surge in Ripple’s XRP token, reaching its highest price since May 2021, is undeniably intriguing.
On Thursday, Ripple‘s XRP token reached its highest point since last May at $1.40, marking a significant 26.71% increase in the past day. This surge is attributed to the ongoing cryptocurrency market boom and the announcement of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler’s imminent departure from his role.
Over the past month, there’s been a significant increase in XRP’s price, which has soared by more than 164%. For the majority of the previous two years, its typical value hovered around $0.53, but currently, it’s experiencing a larger market trend.
The surge in this rally can be attributed to the overall market mood, significantly influenced by Donald Trump’s re-election announcement as the U.S. president. Notably, the GMCI 30 index, which monitors the top 30 cryptocurrencies, has experienced a 7.5% increase over the past period.
The announcement that Gensler was leaving his position at the SEC in January 2025 appears to have given additional momentum to XRP’s success. Ripple has been embroiled in a legal dispute with the SEC since 2020, during which time the regulatory body alleged that the company was selling XRP as an unregistered security.
As an analyst, I find myself aligning with Gensler’s firm approach towards cryptocurrencies, which has led to regulatory actions against prominent players such as Coinbase and Binance. However, this stance has sparked a contentious image for him within the crypto sector.
Following what appears to be a resolution of their legal issues, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, is optimistic that the toughest times have passed. The anticipation among investors also grows as they look towards the possible introduction of U.S.-based spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), further fueling positivity about the future prospects of XRP.
